Interesting info.  I presume razor decodes base64, though?

  Mime Encoded content

  If you want to get into AOL... use it.

  MIME encoders allow you to send documents written within a specific
  application through email without causing readability or formatting
  problems. For example, you can send a letter created in MSWord with
  and be certain that it arrives at its destination in the same format
  by encoding it with MIME first. The recipient then decodes it back
  into the original MSWord format.

  That isn't why we use it though.

  We use it to cause 'uniqueness'.

  When you put a rotate tag at the beginning of a MIME encoded email,
  it causes everything after that point (including checksums) to be
  'different' in every message.

  Why is that that important?

  Because it throws off filters that look for many copies of the same
  message to nuke.
